PAOK had two early chances to take the lead with <strong>Dimitris Pelkas<\/strong> and <strong>Aleksandar Prijovi\u0107<\/strong>. FC Spartak Moscow tried to reply, but Fernando\u2019s shot went way wide.<\/p>\n<p>In the 18th minute, Pelkas broke free in a counterattack, but his pass to Prijovi\u0107 was intercepted with a brilliant tackle by Dzhikiya. The Russians carved their biggest opportunity in the 26th minute, when following a free kick by Promes, <strong>Jos\u00e9 Alberto Ca\u00f1as\u2019s<\/strong> backwards header hit <strong>Alexandros Paschalakis\u2019s<\/strong> woodwork.<\/p>\n<p>Seven minutes later, the home side were reduced to ten players, after Luiz Adriano was given his marching orders by French referee Ruddy Buquet for elbowing <strong>Jos\u00e9 \u00c1ngel Crespo<\/strong> while the ball was out of play.<\/p>\n<p>In the 37th minute, Prijovi\u0107 wasted a glorious opportunity for the opener, when he received a headed pass by <strong>Maur\u00edcio<\/strong>, but his own header grazed the crossbar of the Russian side.<\/p>\n<p>After the interval, PAOK dominated proceedings and threatened Maksimenko\u2019s goal. In the 46th minute, Dzhikiya handed the ball but the referee waved \u201cplay\u201d, then Maur\u00edcio\u2019s shot following Pelkas\u2019s corner went wide. <\/p>\n<p>In the 54th minute, PAOK wasted their biggest opportunity in the match. <strong>Dimitris Limnios<\/strong> charged down the right flank, Pelkas\u2019s initial shot was weak and allowed Maksimenko to beat Prijovi\u0107 to the ball. Then he denied <strong>Amr Warda<\/strong>, who got the rebound and fired wide.<\/p>\n<p>PAOK were in total control until the 70th minute. Warda had a second chance to score after a fine slalom between Spartak\u2019s defenders, while Maksimenko prevailed in his duel with Pelkas, saving two shots and seeing a third one go just wide.<\/p>\n<p>The final minutes were dramatic. The home side went for their last attempt to change the course of qualification. But PAOK\u2019s defensive line functioned to perfection, <strong>R\u0103zvan Lucescu\u2019s<\/strong> troops won all duels on the pitch and booked their place in the UEFA Champions League play-offs, where they will measure themselves against SL Benfica.<\/p>\n<p>Line-ups:<\/p>\n<p>FC Spartak Moscow (Carrera): Maksimenko, Yeshchenko, Gigot, Dzhikiya, Kombarov (76\u2019 Melgarejo), Glushakov, Fernando (62\u2019 Samedov), Zobnin, Tashayev (46\u2019 Z\u00e9 Lu\u00eds), Luiz Adriano, Promes.<\/p>\n<p>P\u0391\u039f\u039a (<strong>Lucescu<\/strong>): <strong>Paschalakis<\/strong>, <strong>Varela<\/strong>, <strong>Crespo<\/strong>, <strong>Matos<\/strong>, <strong>Vieirinha<\/strong> (64\u2019 <strong>Khacheridi<\/strong>), <strong>Maur\u00edcio<\/strong>, <strong>Ca\u00f1as<\/strong>, <strong>Limnios<\/strong>, <strong>El Kaddouri<\/strong> (46\u2019 <strong>Warda<\/strong>), <strong>Pelkas<\/strong> (79\u2019 <strong>Shakhov<\/strong>), <strong>Prijovi\u0107<\/strong>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"In Toumba the two sides were firing at will and made it 3-2 even before the interval, but in Moscow they couldn\u2019t break the deadlock and played a goalless draw.
